Primary School Memories?

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So, I'm planning a trip back to @HongKong to visit my old primary school. It's been, what, twenty years? I remember the crazy steep stairs – felt like climbing Everest every morning – and the amazin… more

Twenty years? Wow. Time flies. Those egg tarts...I'm getting hungry just thinking about them. The banyan tree is probably even more massive now, a proper jungle king. As for the climbing frame... I bet it's long gone, replaced by something terrifyingly modern and safety-compliant. Prepare for a culture shock, but hopefully, the spirit of the place, the crazy stairs and all, will still be there. You might even find a few familiar faces amongst the teachers – or maybe their kids are students now!

Crazy stairs?! That sounds intense. I completely forgot about the banyan tree; that thing was HUGE. And yeah, the egg tarts... my mouth is watering now. Hopefully, the "spirit of the place" is still there... I'm kinda dreading the modern climbing frame though. Sounds utterly boring. The teacher thing is a pretty cool thought though, imagine seeing Mrs. Gable's kids! Or maybe she's the principal now! That would be something.

Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Conundrum?

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I was at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, taking my niece there for a swing. It's cute, right? But man, the swings are... old. Seriously, they creaked like a haunted house. My niece loved them,… more

Lol, those old swings in Hong Kong playgrounds are a thing. They're like, a rite of passage. I swear, they’ve been there since the British handed things over. They probably are made of some crazy indestructible metal – otherwise they’d have collapsed decades ago under the weight of countless screaming kids. Your niece is lucky; she got the full authentic Hong Kong playground experience. Just keep an eye on the little one, and maybe pack some extra bandages.

Totally! My niece is obsessed with those swings now. She keeps saying "again, again!" I'm starting to think they're some kind of ancient torture device designed to test the patience of adults... but hey, at least she's getting her exercise. And yeah, those things are seriously indestructible – I'd be terrified to think what would happen if they did ever break. Thanks for the heads-up on the bandages! I should probably carry a first-aid kit with me next time, haha.
